Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) today announced pricing for the 2010 Nissan Murano crossover SUV, which is on sale now at Nissan retailers nationwide. The 2010 Nissan Murano is offered in three trim levels – S, SL and LE – in a choice of front-wheel drive or with an Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system, including a new Murano LE FWD model. Each features a standard 265-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine and refined Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously Variable Transmission).

In addition to the new LE FWD model, all 2010 Muranos include new standard content and features. Murano S models now offer standard Nissan Intelligent Key™ and privacy glass; Murano SL adds standard Nissan Intelligent Key™, roof rails and Vehicle Security System; and Murano LE models include a standard Dual Panel moonroof, which was previously a $1,170 option.

For example, a new standalone accessory DVD player with integrated headrest screens is available for Murano SL and LE models as result of customer requests (an optional DVD Entertainment System is also available on Murano SL with Technology Package).

About the 2010 Nissan Murano
The second generation Murano, introduced as a 2009 model, combines visually distinctive styling, a “mobile suite” interior design, advanced technology and a refined, premium driving feel – creating a modern crossover SUV like no other.

The most striking visual element of the 2010 Murano is once again its body, which imparts a “modern art” feel while still maintaining its distinctive “Murano-ness.” The front end features a bold grille and wide front headlights, a wide hood, powerful wheel arches and an aggressive stance with available 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.

Murano’s rear end features a unique rear glass shape for improved visibility, rear air deflector, large rear LED taillights and dual exhaust outlets with chrome finishers. Murano is also offered with an available dual panel power sliding glass moonroof and 2nd row skylight, adding to its open, airy interior feeling.

Inside, Murano lives up to its “mobile suite” design theme with high levels of warmth and luxury. The interior also features available wood and aluminum accents, a 60/40 fold-flat rear seat with power return, heated front and rear seats, power liftgate, rain-sensing front wipers and RearView Monitor.

All 2010 Muranos feature a VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6 rated at 265 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque and an advanced Xtronic CVT™ that provides a sporty and smooth driving experience. Murano is available in front-wheel drive or with an Intuitive All-Wheel Drive system, and all Muranos come standard with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with a Traction Control System (TCS) for all-weather confidence.

Standard or available technology includes Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Start, Interface System for iPod®, 11-speaker Bose® premium audio system, an advanced touch screen navigation system with 9.3GB Music Box™ hard drive, a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System and a DVD Mobile Entertainment System with a 9-inch screen.
